Bought a Mesa in 7mm rem mag. Gun would not come close to a 1 inch group. Just sprayed all types of ammo. Bolt was stiff and needed a rubber hammer to open after firing. Sent back to them for warranty work. Received email from CA saying all they did was clean and inspect and were shipping back to me. The darn thing shoots lights out now with no stiff bolt. Fist group out was .391 inch. It’s probably magic that they did nothing and it improved so much but I really don’t care. Turnaround time was 3 weeks. Great service and communication with Christianson Arms. Looking at a 308 now.

Junk. Does not shoot MOA or anywhere near. 5 different brands, grains, manufacturers of ammo and nothing. It is a great $2000 paper weight. All about money with next to 0 quality….. trash…..

BUYER BEWARE: I own 2 Ridgeline rifles. My 300RUM is an older model and shoots sub MOA. My wife’s 270 is newer production and cannot even shoot MOA. I reload and still no go. Christensen was purchased by Ancor Capital Partners in 2019. They have nothing to do with the firearms industry. They have ramped up production however w quality has steadfastly gone down hill. Most common issue is accuracy specifically failure to not only meet the sub MOA guarantee but most recent production barrels do not even meet standard MOA. Rifles are sent in for warranty and returned as repaired and test fired with a digitized target stating said rifle met sub MOA requirements. However, several instances have been well documented of said rifles being returned with metal shavings in the action after barrel replacement thus negating an accurate test fire or a test fire at all. The company has been informed of issues in public forums such as Facebook only for anyone stating facts even in a calm and respectful manner to be banned. Customers whom ask for a refund are refused and asked to send their rifle back again. Some instances rifles have been sent in more than 3 times. Most reputable gunsmiths have a pile of Christensen barrels and will testify to the inadequacy in quality. They are absolutely inconsistent and most require a shooter to have extensive reloading experience in order to get it to shoot. In my opinion, any bolt action firearm should at least shoot MOA. A bolt action rifle that starts in the 1500.00 range should absolutely shoot at a minimum MOA with any off the shelf ammo.

Remington 700 Std full length scope rail that I ordered does not fit any one of my 700's, short or long action. Took it to THREE separate gun stores around town and none of their rifle accept it. Their website says, "Fits any standard Remington 700

I purchased a ca ridgeline from prophet river arms in may 2022.The chamber was so tight I had trouble to eject the cartridge and the accuracy was terrible!!!!! So I was told by prophet river to sent it for warrenty work at corlane sports in British Columbia , so here I sit, it’s October 21 still no gun. !!!! I’ve contact all three companies involved and to make a long story short ……. Prophet river sells only , corlane sports fixes only in this case (I didn’t buy from them ) and Christensen arms only builds the gun , they don’t sell or fix them !!

I bought a 22 LR from Al's sporting goods in Idaho Falls Idaho. Loved the rifle.Broke the handle off the bolt cocking it .Al's sent the gun into Christensen Arms, and told me the turn around time was usually one to three weeks .It has been over six weeks and have no gun yet. Al's has not heard a word. I have called but can never get a person to talk to. Pretty disappointed with service.

I just purchased a CA Mesa in 300WM. I was a bit hesitant after reading so many negative reviews but went with CA. I shot the Mesa yesterday at a 100 yard indoor range and printed sub .40 3 shot groups. This with factory Norma 150 grain soft point ammo. The only factory ammo I could find. I will be handloading ammo for it shortly. My complaints; the bolt is rough and difficult to close. The blind box mag is the pits and will be replaced. CA offers a very expensive detachable plate, well worth the money.

Was as expected and shipped out fast
